The Agnes won the toss on a glorious summers evening away at Beeford and elected to bat. With his new teeth glistening like a disco ball in the evening sun, Sam Moore said that he was opening the batting and he was going to finally earn that jacket. Sam Moore bludgeoned the ball in a truly enjoyable manner and raced to 65 runs. Sam exited the pitch to a standing ovation and received a very emotional hug from a tearful Manager.
Charlie Watts batted well and crouched and dipped his way to 36. Fred Gunning and the returning Skipper then both added a quick fire 27 runs each to see The Agnes post a very formidable 176 from their 18 overs.
In reply, The Skipper took two quick wickets to show everybody what we have been missing. Harvey Thompson then came on and took two wickets in two balls. The bowling was then shared between “Big Merv” Quagmire-Dodds and new Agnes man, Harry Fenton. Harry kept us all entertained by talking about his (sometimes inappropriate) fantasies that he has about his next door neighbour.
Port Moment – Sam Moore for his bullish and brilliant performance with the bat.
